What does “high concentration area” mean?

• Spread out
• Tightly packed together
• Uncrowded
• Spacious

When particles move from areas of high concentration to areas less concentrated, this has taken place.

• diffusion
• mitosis
• endocytosis
• photosynthesis

Why is diffusion and osmosis important to cells?

• It allows them to take in materials without using energy.
• It allows them to reproduce.
• It allows them to absorb sunlight.
• It allows cells to use all energy.

 In the given scenario what will happen?  An egg with a dissolved shell is placed in pure water for 48 hours.

• Water will move in and out of the cell equally, and the cell with neither shrink nor swell.
• The egg will gain water and swell.
• The egg will lose water and shrink.

The picture  is an example of _________________.

• isotonic
• diffusion
• osmosis
• active transport

In this given scenario, corn syrup is hypertonic to an egg with a dissolved shell. What will happen to the egg when it is place in corn syrup?

• It will stay the same.
• It will swell- get bigger.
• It will shrink- get smaller.

What does selectively-permeable mean?

• The cell controls what passes in and out of the cell
• Nothing gets through
• The cell lets only large substances through

Which way will the water molecules move during osmosis?

• Out of the cell, so the cell shrinks.
• Out of the cell, so the cell swells.
• Into the cell, so the cell shrinks.
• Into the cell, so the cell swells.
